DeSantis Statement on Clinton's Recklessness Regarding Classified Information

Statement

Date: Jan. 8, 2016
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: National Security Government Operations

Rep. Ron DeSantis (FL-06), Chairman of the Subcommittee on National Security, has issued the following statement regarding the release of an e-mail from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton directing staff to transmit secure information over an unsecure connection:

"To order that classified markings be removed so that classified information can be transmitted over an unclassified and unsecured server represents a stunning level of recklessness. A rank-and-file State Department employee would never have gotten away with pulling a similar stunt. Secretary Clinton needs to be held accountable and should receive no special treatment from the Department of Justice."
